Off the storm-lashed coast of the Pacific Northwest, Ess regains consciousness with no recollection of who she is or why she's alone on a sailboat in the wilderness. Her only clue is a chilling typewritten note--cryptic and urgent--and the instinctive knowledge of how to sail, survive, and stay invisible.
The world she sails into is at a tipping point. In 2038, climate change is pushing people to the limit, driving more and more to flee storms, drought, and rising seas. The earth is precariously balanced at a climate tipping point and Ess is perched on the edge of a choice. Haunted by the alarming clues about who she was before and hunted by forces she doesn't understand, Ess must decide whether to vanish for good or risk everything to confront the truth.
Adrift is a genre-bending blend of character-driven psychological suspense, speculative mystery, and climate fiction. It's a novel about memory, identity, and who we become when the past is out of reach.
Crackles with urgency and humanity...a book made to meet the moment. A must read. --Katie Lattari, author of Dark Things I Adore
Fast-paced, riveting...a great read. --Booklist
